'Hearing the news about Robin Wililams' death this past week hit me like a dump truck. It felt like losing a family member. I grew up watching "Mork & Mindy" and remember as a kid being so amused by his "nanu nanu's", and inspired by other characters that he played over the years like Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, and Good Will Hunting.

I needed to calculate the number of potential connections between a number of systems, so I had to relearn a formula. Between 2 systems there is only 1 possible connection. One way to calculate this for more than 2 objects is to add up all the whole numbers between 1 and (n-1) where n is the number of objects.
